Social commentary
Isolation & Conformity in Horror Movies
Being alone and being made to fit in are two sides of the same fear. In 21 episodes we looked at paranoia and Us vs. Them in The Thing, suburban paranoia in The Burbs, and the search for acceptance in The Bride of Frankenstein. Vivarium takes on suburbia, capitalism and societal expectations, 28 Days Later and Color Out of Space look at isolation, and The Blackcoat's Daughter at loneliness and loss.
